soldering class

I signed up for Robyn’s class this weekend (Sunday) at Piecemakers. Great class, great store, great teacher! While I took Sally Jean last fall for soldering you would think I would have confidence but since I managed to burn my hand pretty bad in class (and not on the project or the soldering iron mind you!!!) – I haven’t really worked on soldering jewelry since then.

The best way to get myself going again is to sign up for a class!!!! And this looked great. I had high expectations and Robyn surpassed them. For now here is a photo of the class at work soldeirng outside on a gorgeous day in Southern California…on February 1!

And some not great shots of Robyn’s work but glass is hard to photo because of reflections (at least that is my excuse). Robyn does really great work with tiny bottles and she enhances them with buttons or such on top! She explained how she built the box around the Charlotte on the left side also – I am going to try to make it more “fabric” oriented, although I do have some charlottes small enough to do that I think! And notice those dice on the bottom!!!!
